Little Italy Eviction Risk: High , Niagara Falls

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Niagara Falls. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $54,646, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

Average gross rent is $816, close to the Niagara Falls average. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
